Materials for Cummings Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil, not stone. The lake plain under Cummings is deep silt and clay, so a lawn, a garden or a raised bed needs material brought in before anything else happens.

Top Soil, which yards here call black dirt, builds up grade and repairs bare spots before seed goes down. Garden Soil fills raised beds, vegetable plots and shelterbelt planting pockets.

Fill Dirt raises low ground and backfills ahead of a gravel course. Get the grade right first, then cap it.

For the base course itself, Class 5 is the standard North Dakota base gravel. It packs into driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Where you want a binding, blade-friendly surface instead of a full base, Class 13 surfaces an approach, lane or gravel drive.

Water has to go somewhere. Washed Rock, sold as 1 inch washed rock or clean rock, beds drain tile, sump discharge and downspout runs.

3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage, bin and tank pads and pole barn floors.

Sand and decorative stone round out a yard. Mason Sand beds block and brick work and paver joints.

River Rock mulches beds and borders, and it holds up better than bark in North Dakota wind.

Ground and Conditions in Cummings

This is the flat floor of glacial Lake Agassiz, and the valley floor has almost no fall. The lake clay sheds water slowly, so snowmelt and summer rain sit on yards, drives and field approaches instead of running off.

That standing water is the thing to plan around. A drive or pad over clay needs a drainage layer under it, which is where washed rock and 3/4 inch crushed rock earn their place.

Spring flooding along the Red and its tributaries scours banks and ruts bare clay ground. Riprap, graded Grade II here, armors coulee and river banks, culvert outlets and shoreline against spring runoff and wave action.

Winters are long and severe, and ground frost runs about 4 to 5 feet deep. The spring thaw heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads, and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out.

Time the work around that. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the spring thaw into late fall, because frozen ground stops compaction.

What stone should I use for drainage in Cummings?

Washed Rock, the 1 inch clean rock, is the pick for drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains, because it is washed and open. For heavier drainage, bin and tank pads and pole barn floors, use 3/4" Crushed Stone.

Both stay open so water moves instead of sitting on the clay.
